Sen. Jon Kyl, the Republican's vote counter, blocked Democratic efforts Thursday evening to bring up the Senate version of the tax bill to recoup most of the $165 million paid out by AIG last weekend and other bonuses in 2009... By rushing, Kyl said, Democrats were letting populist outrage trump informed decision making.
Well played. Friday dump, hope the outrage dies down enough over the weekend that a vote against the bill next week doesn't do as much damage. Democrats lose a point on this one. Can't say I'm that shocked, I did say yesterday that:
It will be interesting to see if the more reserved Senate does anything on this.
Being more reserved is not always bad, but the people want something done, and they want it done quickly.
Definitely keep an eye on this one next week.
